Telecommunication giant, Vodafone Ghana, is set to host a virtual skills fair dubbed #LevelUp on Friday, 27th August 2021.
The initiative is in line with the telco’s commitment to support government’s efforts at addressing the unemployment and digital skills gap among the youth.
The fair will provide career guidance, access to training content and help the youth make informed career choices through a series of speaker sessions. The one-day event will host industry experts who will share their knowledge, experiences, and skills with the youth through engaging presentations.
Without a doubt, the pandemic and the measures put in place to combat it have had a significant impact on the lives of young people. It has affected access to education, in addition to impacting employment and job opportunities.
